Cajun Restaurants near Castro Valley, CA

“Soco Kitchen is such a staple of Castro Valley and I'm glad we have a decent restaurant in the area. I've never been a huge fan of the menu only because I'm not a fan of fried foods in general (because of bloating and stomach aches) but there are a few menu items that are decent if you're overall health conscious like me. Parking is limited & squishy here as it shares spots in a business plaza but there's usually space in the back or right out on the street so it's not too hard to find a spot. I do have to say their mac n cheese is some of the best I've had and I like to push my gluten sensitivity slightly and get the small size of this (which is enough for two people as is). Recently, I've discovered their SoCo house salad with southern fried chicken which is soooo good and doesn't make me feel bad on cheat days. The fried chicken is crispy and the walnuts and tomatoes with spring mix shaken together with one who dat sauce and two ranches (because their sauce cups are only half full) is the perfect combo. Again, not the biggest fan of this type of cuisine and how it affects my health & diet but there are a few gems that are worth coming and getting every so often!“

“I found this place by chance while looking for Cajun style shrimp. The place is small and cozy. The flavors were there, the sauce is just a bit lighter and on the oily side than my regular place, but still tasty. The garlic noodles are also very good. My husband asked for chicken wings and they were decent, but nothing special. My biggest complaint is that I was trying to place my order over the phone for take out and the phone was not in service. I know these days you can place orders online, but I was driving so doing the call would have been much easier for me. & If you don't take phone orders that's fine, but then you shouldn't list the number as an option. The prices were fair, the service in person seems to be great so I plan on coming back and trying other things on their menu.“

“Just went on Wednesday as I was passing through. I didn’t realize that they were open do to the farmers market being right there as well. Went inside and it was beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp po boy and it was very good. I will definitely be back.“

“I'm glad there's a cajun seafood restaurant in Newark in the tastypot/sprouts plaza!! Came here for Monday night dinner (not busy at all, a sprinkle of people came in after) Place was more spacious than i thought, but it was overall clean and bright. The female server was super friendly taking our order too! Ordered; - 2 1lb of Shrimp (Head on) with corn and sausage with their crabby mild sauce; Expect around 20 shrimps per bag ahaha - Garlic Noodles - More like udon textured noodles; different than what i normally have - Steamed Rice The restaurant was nice enough to even let us try their carne asada and pastor tacos (Thank you!!) :) Overall, we were satisfied with our dinner cravings, and were able to pack some leftovers to go too.“
